Hey there guys I had a question about the I/O for people who went last year. I plan on buying a academic ticket for this years Google I/O but I wanted to know if there is a difference between the academic ticket and general admission. What I mean by differences is: do I get to go to certain speeches? Do I have full access to the conference? Since I was not able to find any info on the matter online I thought I might ask here. Mainly looking for people who went to 2012 I/O with a academic ticket.
Thanks!

I've never been to I/O, but based on the 2012 website I'm pretty sure the academic ticket is the exact same, only cheaper. But you might want to confirm this with someone who's been there.

Academic ticket was exactly the same when I went in 2011

The academic tickets have been the same as standard tickets in the past, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google changes up the registration process this year. They sold out very fast last year, and people went to I/O who were there more for the "free stuff" than they were for the development aspect of it.

Edit: when I say 'change up the registration', I'm referring to the entire process -- not just academic tickets.
